Mariah the Scientist & Young Thug Get Engaged During Concert

During his “Hometown Hero: Young Thug & Friends – A Benefit Concert” at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on Tuesday, Dec. 16, the 34-year-old Grammy-winning rapper surprised fans by proposing to his longtime girlfriend, R&B singer Mariah The Scientist, 28, in the middle of his set. According to footage circulating online, the “UY SCUTI” artist paused the show before pulling out an engagement ring as the words “Will You Marry Me” lit up the screen behind him. Moments later, after Mariah enthusiastically accepted, the crowd erupted as Thug scooped her into a hug.

In another clip, the newly engaged artist cheekily urged her now-fiancé to finish the job. “Put it on!” she demanded, referring to her sparkling new ring — its shine rivaled only by Thug’s wide, unmistakably proud grin. Fans were quick to celebrate the moment, especially given that Mariah — born Mariah Buckles — has recently been open about being ready for a serious commitment. Earlier this month, the “Burning Blue” singer spoke candidly about love, marriage, and timing during a sitdown with Angie Martinez backstage at Power 105.1’s Power Sessions in New York City before she took the stage.
